A quick and easy Grilled Salmon with Roasted Vegetables recipe that balances healthy fats, proteins, and fresh veggies for a flavorful and nourishing meal perfect for weeknights or entertaining guests.

Ingredients

Salmon

  • Fresh salmon fillets (skin-on preferred)
  • Olive oil (for brushing)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
  • Fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or thyme)

Vegetables

  • Mixed vegetables: bell peppers, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, red onions
  • Olive oil (for tossing)
  • Garlic cloves (crushed)
  • Salt
  • Black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Vegetables: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Chop your chosen vegetables into bite-sized pieces for even roasting. Toss them in olive oil, crushed garlic, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for about 20-25 minutes until tender and caramelized.
  2. Season the Salmon: Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels. Brush lightly with olive oil and season generously with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. If using herbs or spices, sprinkle them on now.
  3. Grill the Salmon: Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Place the salmon skin-side down and grill for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish flakes easily and has those beautiful grill marks.
  4. Combine and Serve: Plate the grilled salmon next to or atop the roasted vegetables. Add an extra lemon wedge and sprinkle of fresh herbs for a pop of color and brightness. Serve immediately while everything is warm.

Notes

  • Preheat well to prevent salmon from sticking to the grill.
  • Don’t overcrowd the veggies; spread them out to roast properly, not steam.
  • Use a fish spatula to flip salmon gently without breaking it.
  • Check doneness by ensuring salmon flakes easily with a fork but remains moist inside.
  • Let salmon rest a few minutes after grilling to keep it juicy.
